Gross, Just Gross

Well Colin and I have been having lots of fun lately. My morning sickness has been getting better, than worse, better than worse, etc. But we've gotten pretty used to it, so that's kind of old news. Then one day Colin got what we hoped was food poisoning. He'd eaten a bunch of Canadian bacon that I had thought tasted gross, so we blamed it on that. We figured food poisoning isn't so good, but at least its not contagious like the stomach flu. So we stocked up on Poweraid, soda, broth, and of course, lots and lots of water. (We already had crackers and rice thanks to me.) The worst part of it, is that anytime anyone throws up, I throw up. Any time anyone talks about throwing up, I at LEAST start gagging. So I couldn't even take care of Colin, because I was feeling almost as bad as he was! But we made it through and two days later all was right with the world. At least for a couple of days. Turns out Colin didn't have food poisoning and it WAS the stomach flu. How do we know? I got it. Round 2. Luckily Colin has a much stronger stomach than I, so it was just me sick this time. I found it really hard to balance my morning sickness and cravings with stomach friendly food, but I made it. And now, a couple of days later we're both happy and healthy and eating normal food. :)

Easter

I dressed up like the Easter bunny to give Colin his Easter basket. Yes, I do have pink footy pajamas. They were a gag Christmas present one year that I have found surprisingly useful. (They were GREAT for dress up a freshman day at Christendom!)


I forgot to take a picture of the basket before Colin dug into it. So this is the best I've got.

Colin colored the T-rex, I colored. . . the other ones. He put a little more effort into it. :)

The Easter spirit was enjoyed by all. I have a picture of Colin with the ears on, too. But I promised it wouldn't go on the internet.

Our Mustached Car

I realize I don't actually have any pictures of our car. But it has a black guard of some type (I'm assuming its for bugs) on the hood that looks a lot like a mustache. So the first thing I thought of when I saw the car was the mustached cloud in the Dear Jamie video. We've semi-seriously named it Mustachio Car. (Not terribly creative I know, but our creative juices are not on top of their game at the moment.)

Here is Maggie driving us to Sioux Falls to get Mustachio Car.


The bluffs along. . . a river. I don't remember where we were, so I can't say what river. The Platte? Sioux? Missouri? Nile? I'm not sure.


Mom wanted a picture of our faces when we saw the car. We took the picture in the car rather than out, due to the cold.
